Tumble Bugs The Tumble Bugs is TGA's recreational Gymnastics & Tumbling program. Each class is named after a bug and a portion of our facility is decorated in our bug theme. This is a the way that we have introduced hundreds of children to gymnastics over the past six years. Our kids love it and we are sure that yours will too!
Power Boys, Baby Bugs, Bug Club and Power Play are all included in our Tumble Bugs program. The Power Boys will be the will using the Progress Posters while the other programs are focused on fitness and cognitive development.

Fun & Fit Gymnastics Program The Fun & Fit Gymnastics Program is a complete curriculum system, created specifically for recreational gymnastics. It is a specially designed teaching curriculum that breaks gymnastics skills down into achievable steps.
The system created for each level of the program, keeps kids and parents motivated and excited about learning gymnastics.
Fun & Fit Curriculum Poster Reward System Our curriculum Poster Reward System has been developed to provide students with rewards and incentives for learning new skills and to provide parents a simple way to monitor the student's progress.
There is a poster for each level of our curriculum. The skills listed on the posters exactly match those on the student's curriculum card (kept in the TGA office).
When the student performs a skill correctly three times in a row on card check off day, the instructor will mark on the student’s curriculum card that they have mastered the skill. At the end of class the student will receive a star to place on the appropriately numbered box on their poster.
After a student completes the level, he/she will be awarded the poster, and a photograph will be taken (by the gym) of the student with his/her instructor. There is a place on the poster for the photo to be attached. The student will then be given a new poster for the next level.
The posters will be given to all enrolled students Free of Charge. We hope these posters will assist parents in getting involved in their child's gymnastics education, and in sharing the excitement of progress each child will experience while learning and growing.
The curriculum posters that kids take home provide short term and long range goals, which creates frequent successes, positive feedback and rewards.
